BNA Software has updated its fixed assets software with the latest tax law and form changes from the recent tax cut extension.
Version 2011.0 of BNA Fixed Assets includes all of the tax law changes pertaining to the bonus depreciation deduction and Section 179 expensing. The company has updated the stand-alone desktop and client server fixed asset products, which include BNA Fixed Assets Desktop, DesktopPro, and Server. The enhancements include the 12 major tax law changes and related forms affecting fixed asset management and depreciation provided for in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.
“This is a comprehensive update of our fixed assets products,” said BNA Software executive director Dean Sonderegger in a statement. “It addresses tax law changes providing for the 100 percent bonus depreciation deduction, as well as the Section 179 expensing changes— provisions that can have a significant impact on a company’s 2010 and 2011 tax liability. To help our customers and others managing fixed assets understand the tax law and how to make the right decision when it comes to claiming bonus depreciation, we’ve scheduled a free Webinar and produced a new resource guide.”
The Webinar, “2010 Tax Relief Act: Understanding and Planning for Bonus Depreciation and Other Fixed Assets Provisions,” is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Webinar attendees must register in advance at
